Rigid Frame

The VP Rigid Frame is the ideal system when economical, column-free interior space is desired. Clear spans up to 300' or more are available, along with On-Center and Off-Center Ridges and Single-Slope designs.

Continuous Beam

Where interior support columns are acceptable, as in vast production or storage areas, VP's Continuous Beam:

Provides the greatest space at the lowest cost per square foot
Allows total flexibility in locating interior columns
Enables any width or eave height
Accommodates interior column spaces of 100' or more


Truss Beam

If your building plans call for unobstructed, column-free interior space, VP's open web Truss Beam frame offers long, clear spans, along with the advantages of open web rafters.

Open web design holds down construction costs through optimal material use and reduction of required building heights.
Ductwork, wiring, sprinkler systems, and lighting can be incorporated through the trusses.
Frames can be designed with tapered or straight columns with a pitched or straight bottom rafter.
Roof pitch can be as low as 1/4:12.


Continuous Truss

The open web design of VP's Continuous Truss frames offers construction cost savings through optimal material use and reduction of required building heights.

HVAC ducts, wiring, sprinkler systems, and lighting can be incorporated “into” the trusses to maximize clearance beneath the rafter.
Open web design increases interior visibility through enhanced lighting dispersal.
Continuous Truss frames can also be used with other framing systems, including block, tilt-up, ordinary steel framing, or wood.
